In this Xtra, I continue my conversation with my episode 06 guest: Michael Braley. We talk more openly about his graphic style and why he enjoys leading creative workshops. Enjoy this snippet...  Xtras are mini-episodes that are unedited and uncut snippets of conversations I've had with my guests. They are additional audio that never made it into the episode or we're just a little bit too long and were cut down for clarity. After re-listening, I created this format as a great way to share more quality guest insight.

wipXtra w/ Michael Braley

"The hard part is for some people is allowing themselves TO be that simple, and over complicate it, not more is better, but to overthink it … sometimes you're just done, you have it. It might take five minutes or it might take 3 weeks—but just stop when you know you have it.” — Michael Braley: Creative Director, Designer, Simplifier. In this episode to talk to Michael Braley Creative director and simplifier graphic designer with over 25 years experience in branding and annual reports and most notably poster design. I catch up with him from Kentucky to discuss the power research, discovery, and sometimes just to know the right time to finish that project. During our chat I learned a lot more than I knew before. His father, Richard Braley, designed the logo for Behr paint, he aspired to be in the same company as the co-workers at Cahan and Associates, and that even though he has created some visually stunning posters, he values the process of coming up with  them more than the final. (Sound right up our alley) Thanks Michael for being my first Skype interview, and keep it CSI!
